Assault Charges?
Fights can surge due to misunderstandings between people. In Massachusetts, fights happen all the time. Shouting threats and throwing punches in the heat of an argument is not an uncommon sight. However, when police are called and charges are filed, penalties for an assault conviction could be 2 1/2 years in prison and a $1,000 fine.
Assault and battery charges are serious. Criminal penalties could be accompanied by a lawsuit in civil court for damages for an assault and battery conviction. Without an experienced criminal defense lawyer, the complex nature of assault and battery charges can be frustrating and intimidating.
